I own nothing
Merlin was watching the cartoon for about 10 minutes before becoming bored with it.
"Being sick is so bloody boring," Merlin whined.
Then, his phone went off, letting the 17 year old he had a text. He looked at it and saw it was from Arthur.
Class is starting.
I know. I'm sick so I'm stuck at home.
After Merlin sent the text, he didn't have to wait more than a minute for a reply.
Ouch :p
Yeah, I hope I don't have that stupid flu that's going around.
I hope so too. Hey, do want me and Gwen to stop by after school and visit?
Let me ask Gaius first.
Merlin knew that Gaius would probably say no to this but he decided to ask either way.
"Gaius, can Arthur and Gwen come over after school?" Merlin called.
Gaius came out of the kitchen, drying his hands on a dish towel.
"We'll see," said Gaius. "Maybe if your temperature comes down, they can come by and visit for a bit."
Merlin smiled and quickly typed out a response.
You might be able to if my fever comes down.
Sweet. Keep us updated. Feel better Merlin.
Thanks :)
Merlin put his phone down and looked up at his uncle, who had come over to him.
"I can't wait until school's over," said Merlin, smiling. "Then I get to see my friends."
"If your fever goes down that is," said Gaius, placing a hand on his nephew's forehead.
"Gaius, I'll be fine," whined Merlin, moving away from his uncle.
"Just lay down and get some rest," said Gaius, having Merlin lie down as he covered him with a blanket. "You'll feel better if you do."
"Gaius, I'm not tired," Merlin whined, sitting up.
"You are," said Gaius. "I can tell that you are."
Gaius got Merlin to lay down again and told him to rest. Then, he turned off the TV and went upstairs, probably to clean.
"I'm not tired," said Merlin as his eyes began to close. "I'm not (yawn) tired."
Soon he was asleep.
